VANCOUVER, BC – After picking up Tim Parker and Kay Banjo in the first two rounds of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are set to make five more picks on Tuesday when Rounds 3 and 4 take place via conference call.
And according to head coach Carl Robinson, there are still some “interesting” players on the board.
“There are, but we’ve got to be smart with our decisions,” Robinson told reporters last week. “I can’t totally fill up the roster with all young players. We’ll have an eye on our USL PRO roster with our next round of picks. We’ll have to be sensible and smart with our decisions, but there are still some guys who are very interesting to me.”
